Learn how to improve the health of your garden and crops, save money, and protect the environment by making your own organic fertilizer.
**introduction**
In modern gardening and agriculture, the use of organic fertilizers is becoming increasingly important. Making your own organic fertilizers not only reduces your reliance on chemical fertilizers, but also improves soil quality and promotes healthy plant growth. This article will introduce how to practice making your own organic fertilizers to help you achieve healthy gardening and abundant crops.
**Basic concept of organic fertilizer**
Organic fertilizers are made from animal and plant waste and do not contain any chemical ingredients. They can improve soil structure and provide the nutrients plants need. By decomposing and recycling organic waste, we can not only reduce waste but also replenish the organic matter in the soil.
**materials needed**
There are many materials for making organic fertilizers, the most common ones are:
1. Kitchen waste: fruit peels, vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, egg shells, etc.
2. Yard waste: grass clippings, leaves, dead branches.
3. Animal manure: chicken manure, cow manure, rabbit manure, etc.
4. Others: paper scraps, wood chips and other biodegradable materials.
**Production steps**
1. **Prepare the container**: Choose an appropriate compost bucket or compost bin.
2. **Layer materials**: Alternate between "brown materials" (such as dry leaves, newspapers) and "green materials" (such as kitchen scraps, grass clippings), making sure the materials are thoroughly mixed.
3. **Keep Moist**: Water the compost material regularly to keep it moist, but not too wet.
4. **Turn the compost**: Turn the compost material every 2-3 weeks to help aerate it and speed up decomposition.
5. **Wait for fermentation**: It usually takes several months for the materials to completely decompose into black, nutritious compost.
**Instructions**
When the organic fertilizer is ready, you can spread it evenly on the soil surface of the garden or crops and lightly rake it into the soil. It can be applied once in the first and second half of each year to help improve the growth of plants.
